Oxygen generating device

ABSTRACT

A An oxygen generating device includes a container having a first side portion, a second side portion and an intermediate portion which is lower than the two side portions. Each of the first side portion, the second side portion and the intermediate portion has a top. A first pipe extends through the top of the first side portion and a second pipe extends through the top of the second side portion. The container is filled with water and the first pipe is lead to the users. A positive electrolytic post is inserted in the first side portion and a negative electrolytic post is inserted in the second side portion. A power source is connected to the positive electrolytic post and the negative electrolytic post. The oxygen is generated by the electrolytic process and sent to the users.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to an oxygen generating devicewhich is connected to a frame of an exercising device and providesoxygen to the user.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Generally speaking, users work out on exercising devices forimproving the health and the shape of their bodies. Nevertheless, theusers need to have more oxygen when working out and most of theexercising devices are disposed indoor so that there is less fresh airin the room. In order to meet some users' specific requirements, a hugeoxygen generating device is purchased and an extra room is arranged toinstall the device. This is not affordable for ordinary users.

[0003] The present invention intends to provide an oxygen generatingdevice that employs electrolytic process for water to generate oxygenwhich is directly provided to the users.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0004] In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, there isprovided an oxygen generating device that is connected to an exercisingdevice so as to provide oxygen to the users. The device includes acontainer filled with water and having a first side portion, a secondside portion and an intermediate portion which has a top and is lowerthan the two respective tops of the first and second side portions. Afirst pipe extends through the top of the first side portion and asecond pipe extends through the top of the second side portion. Thefirst pipe is lead to the users. A positive electrolytic post isinserted in the first side portion and a negative electrolytic post isinserted in the second side portion. A power source is connected to thepositive electrolytic post and the negative electrolytic post.

[0005] The present invention will become more obvious from the followingdescription when taken in connection with the accompanying drawingswhich show, for purposes of illustration only, a preferred embodiment inaccordance with the present invention.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0006]FIG. 1 shows the oxygen generating device of the present inventionis disposed beside a treadmill and a pipe is lead to the user;

[0007]FIG. 2 is a perspective view to show the oxygen generating deviceof the present invention;

[0008]FIG. 3 is a cross sectional view to show the container of theoxygen generating device of the present invention, and

[0009]FIG. 4 shows that water is filled in the container and oxygen isgenerated via the first pipe and hydrogen is generated via the secondpipe.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0010] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 4, the oxygen generating device 20 of thepresent invention can be conveniently connected beside an exercisingdevice such as a treadmill 10 in FIG. 1. The oxygen generating device 20comprises a container 21 that includes a first side portion 23, a secondside portion 24 and an intermediate portion 22. The intermediate portion22 is located between and in communication with the first and secondside portions 23, 24. Each of the first side portion 23, the second sideportion 24 and the intermediate portion 22 has a top, and the top of theintermediate portion 22 is lower than the two respective tops of thefirst and second side portions 23, 24. An inlet 221 is defined throughthe top of the intermediate portion 22 and water can be filled in thecontainer 21 via the inlet 221. Therefore, when the container 21 isfilled with water as shown in FIG. 4, there is a space above the waterlevel in each of the first side portion 23 and the second side portion24.

[0011] A first pipe 231 extends through the top of the first sideportion 23 and a second pipe 241 extends through the top of the secondside portion 24. The first pipe 231 is connected to an outlet 12 in thefront edge of the control panel of the treadmill so that oxygen comingout from the first pipe 231 is inhaled by the users.

[0012] A positive electrolytic post 232 is inserted in the first sideportion 23 and a negative electrolytic post 242 is inserted in thesecond side portion 24. A power source 30 is connected to the positiveelectrolytic post 232 and the negative electrolytic post 242.

[0013] By the electrolytic process, oxygen is generated and goes outfrom the first pipe 231 and hydrogen is generated and goes out from thesecond pipe 241 which is lead to outside of the room. As shown in FIG.1, the first pipe 231 may also be lead directly to the user.

[0014] While we have shown and described the embodiment in accordancewith the present invention, it should be clear to those skilled in theart that further embodiments may be made without departing from thescope of the present invention.

What is claimed is:
 1. An oxygen generating device comprising: acontainer having a first side portion, a second side portion and anintermediate portion, the intermediate portion located between and incommunication with the first and second side portions, each of the firstside portion, the second side portion and the intermediate portionhaving a top, the top of the intermediate portion being lower than thetwo respective tops of the first and second side portions; a first pipeextending through the top of the first side portion and a second pipeextending through the top of the second side portion, the containeradapted to be filled with water, the first pipe adapted to be lead tousers, and a positive electrolytic post being inserted in the first sideportion and a negative electrolytic post being inserted in the secondside portion, a power source connected to the positive electrolytic postand the negative electrolytic post.
 2. The device as claimed in claim 1,wherein an inlet is defined through the top of the intermediate portion.
